Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A scatterplot with no slope indicates that there is no association between the two variables being examined, meaning there is a zero association between job satisfaction and number of years of education. The other answer choices are not applicable because they suggest some sort of relationship or cause-effect, which is not indicated by a scatterplot with no slope.
